we need more foods MST is too linear and rather boring, even if you make your own RP it would be quite nice to have more options for food to make
perhaps those FUCKING meatspikes could get used for something
or perhaps they could add a meat drying system to make gabagool

Ah yes the monthly cooking refactor bait.
Porting a better cooking system is always talked about. But so far no one has bothered to take it up.
I don’t think that’s about to change but *shrug, maybe there is someone crazy enough.
As pointed out previously when I last moaned, 5ish months ago something like Kitchen rework part 1: machines and recipes. by warriorstar-orion · Pull Request #28277 · ParadiseSS13/Paradise · GitHub
Would serve as a good jumping off point. Though get ready to cherry pick from follow up PRs.

lets be nice to each other. Mist is showing you the path forward.
Cooking refactor but I only change the taco sprite that is likely older than some of the people who play the server (and looks bad)
As someone who participated in a cooking refactor for another server recently its such a chore because there’s soooo many different codebases with different cooking, and even if you just port it (which Is already a pain in the ass itself) theres so much to consider in terms of
-removing stuff that doesn’t gel with setting (monkey platter, lizard people food, Slime food, ECT)
-spriting to make the food both consistent and gel with the rest of the server (not that the food sprites as we have them are awfully consistent)
-Making the things you need to make the food accessible, to a lesser degree
-probably a bunch of other stuff I can’t even think of right now
-staying motivated with the Titanic task throughout all this and not burning out

The main issue is less their nothing to cook and more no one bothers to stop by messhall to eat it.
So we need to think of ways that these new food might encoruage that.

Weeding out silly or unrealistic food wouldn’t be too hard to manage but everything else is completely and unfortunately true.
Everyone wants or doesn’t mind a cooking overhaul the problem is how much effort it would take for what is debatably a very minor and unimportant role.
Additional problem is that unless cooking is completely reworked you need to watch out for conflicting recipes when even making new food (this has broken foods before)
side note on sprites the bread slice sprite is the worst one of all the foods if you know the one im referencing

Few ideas that could be used by themselfs, or combined:
-
Nerf MRE to become a “normal” sized item.
-
Buff messhall food to have more nutrients, maybe even more than whole MRE, or exactly the same if "1)” is used too.
-
Buff messhall food to (have a chance to) contain small ammounts of “rare” beneficial drugs (that can only be gained by eating it). Like ImiAlky, or maybe weak generic stimms. Depending how rare you would make it, you could give it 1/100 chance to even give 1u of thwei.
